What makes these tips special is that the information they provide usually cannot be found in C++ books or Web sites. For example, pointers to members are one of the most evasive, tricky, and bug-prone issues for even advanced users.

he following tips are a collection of general hands-on techniques and recondite pieces of knowledge not associated with a specific platform, programming domain, or compiler. As such, they can be of use to all C++ programmers. I grouped the tips into five major categories: general guidelines for coding style, memory management, performance enhancement, object-oriented design, and the Standard Template Library (STL).
What makes these tips special is that the information they provide usually cannot be found in C++ books or Web sites. For example, pointers to members are one of the most evasive, tricky, and bug-prone issues for even advanced users. Yet, they are a widely used C++ feature. Likewise, the discussion on STL terminology and iterator categories is another example of useful yet evasive information that isn't readily available, unless you're an STL expert.
